Next time you visit Krakow, get your hands on a bike – beg or steal (well, don’t steal…borrow), get yourself on those suckers because personally I think that’s by far the best way to experience the city up-close and at your own pace. Bicycle-lanes are clearly marked all over town, and here in Poland biking is allowed on pedestrian paths in most cases so it’s absolutely safe.

Ohh this little trip made me fall straight back in love with bicycles,and now I’m craving very much for a ladies town bike so I can load flowers and fresh baguettes in the front basket and have hair rustle in the breeze as I peddle past the busy little bistros… …owkay, waking up.

Oh it looks lovely!! I’ve been reaaally wanting a bike as well but I think I’ve been waiting for one to miraculously appear. I don’t know where my apprehension is coming from because if I plan on moving back to Los Angeles after college… I will never ever get to experience riding a bike in a city!

i love biking. my dad and I used to be pretty hard core (we did these huge 200 miles 2 day trips) but it is such a great feeling. Though Seattle is pretty helmeted so we don’t look quite as chic (but we do look safer). those bubbles are so pretty and I love that intricate leatherwork on the horse.

Cafe Camelot is lovely , isn’t it? Hope you have great times and i will be today on market squere so i will eyeing aroung to catch you :D PS. what you liked the most in the moment?

hello :) thanx for the bike advice… it really makes sense but not just for Krakow – for each city I visit next, I’ll try to ckeck it out by bike. it gives you freedom to chose where to go and to get there quickly … nice nice ;)

These are amazing photos again. I didn’t like your new layout the first time I saw it, but now I love the bigger photos (they are bigger, right?). I’ve bought the &-bag too, after I saw yours. I love it. :) And those pictures make me want to travel. <3

well, the truth is that biking on the pavement is banned in poland in most cases, but because of the way many drivers treat cyclists (like they don’y exist/don’t have any privileges) most of citizens choose riding on pavements. i guess police usually ignores this, but i’ve heard of financial penalty for riding on a pavement and it’s about 50 pln, but could be 500 pln as well (it depends on the policeman) and it sounds somehow scary.
well, ride safe and enjoy your time in cracow!

ps: the cafe you’ve photographed is just opposite the cinema – place where i’m working :).

your cropped sweatshirt is so cute hahahaha. and LULZ at the DIY above. that bubble photo is amaaaazzinnggg. you seem to capture the best stuff. i haven’t been biking in ages, but the last time i did i biked to a waterfall and it was pretty frickin awesome!
